Snowbird

By -
Last evening Marilyn & I went to Snowbird.  We took the tram to the top of the mountain. The ride up/down was pretty cool and the scenery from the peak was awsome.  From there you could see Salt Lake City and Heber.  You could also see the ATV trails up from AF canyon.  There was still quite a bit of snow up there near the top.  I didn't realize there was an alpine slide at Snowbird...there is.  There is also a fancy zip line to ride, an outdoor mechanical bull to ride, bungie jumping on trampolines, bouncy castles, a cool looking ropes course platform, and other cool stuff. We ate dinner there (On Novell of course).  It's a lot prettier place than Park City...I haven't been up that canyon since I was 18 years old going to Alta to ski.  I'd forgotten what a beautiful place it was.  I recommend it for an evening.  DETAILS

It was the first time I have been in that canyon at all. Actually, I think it is the prettiest canyon I have ever seen in Utah (excluding Natl. Parks) Dastrups have got it made!

I didn't know we had that stuff so close, either. We'll have to check it out! So where did you eat and how was it?

We ate at the Atrium Patio....I don't know how much it was. Probably pricey. The food was OK. I wouldn't make it a destination. But it was sure pretty in that canyon. We did see, distantly some Camp grounds.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
